"Everything" is the seventh track on the 2013 release Hesitation Marks. On August 19, 2013, the track officially premiered via an NPR blog.[1] "Everything", along with "Satellite", were both originally written and recorded for a forthcoming greatest hits package for Interscope Records, but instead provided inspiration towards a new album.[2]
From an interview with The Sun, Trent Reznor said the following about the track:
"I was trying to make something that leapt out of the speakers in a very umfamiliar way. At first listen, it might seem to be in praise of life but it's supposed to come off as an arrogant, 'Fuck you. I've survived!' It also gets less triumphant and more reflective and melancholy towards the end."[3]
Appearances
- Hesitation Marks
Versions
Everything
This is the original album version. Opening with a simple drum loop, the first verse enters with poppy guitars and big vocal harmonies throughout. In contrast, the song's choruses are darker, with noisier guitars playing much less poppy progressions and with shouted vocals. Entering the coda, the song seems to restart exactly the way it begins, but without the vocal layering. Various distorted pads and guitars build the coda towards its climax and sudden ending.
Everything (Autolux Remix)
Exclusive to the Japanese import of Hesitation Marks.
Lyrics
I survived everything I have tried everything Everything, everything, and anything All the walls begin dissolve away Do your hands begin to shake, shake, shake, shake, shake And just do what you think you used to be All begins to bend then break, break, break, break Wave goodbye, wish me well I've become something else Something else, something else, it's just as well But this thing that lives inside of me The sound that rock awake, awake, awake, awake, break And if he depletes what's owed to me And it comes to grab and take and take and take and take I am whole I believe I am whole I am free I am whole I can see Always here Finally
